Summer Camps! (sniff)

Abby's Kindergarten class is over at the end of May, and we had to decide to either move her to a younger class for "daycare" this summer, or put her in Summer Camps (still at her same school).  So summer camp it is!!  Not sure when my little girl grew up, but she's officially a big kid now and will be doing all sorts of cool stuff this summer and going on lots of field trips. :)  Check out her fun-filled summer coming up!

Cooking Camp

June 2 - June 6. (1 week)

Would you love to learn to cook? Our campers will learn basic culinary skills as they create a delicious meal and snack. Another fun project will be creating a booklet of simple, tasty and healthy recipes to cook at home as they learn about proper nutrition and healthy eating. At Central Market students will tour the bakery, taste and learn about different fruits and vegetables.

Animal Adventures

June 9 - June 20. (2 weeks)

Campers will love their visit to the Austin Aquarium where they will have hands-on interactions with some of the animals. There will be other opportunities to feed touch and even hold animals when a veterinarian visits with pet animals. 

Geology Rocks

June 23 - July 11 . (3 weeks)

Did you know the land where Austin sits today was once beneath the sea? Campers will find fossils of sea animals which sank into the mud long ago and which now are rocks. Find out how to identify different kinds of rocks why they are different. To learn even more about rocks this session will include a field trip to Longhorn Caverns. 

Imaginarium

July 14 - July 25. (2 weeks)

Journey through the wacky, wild and wondrous world of your imagination! Campers will enjoy six different exhibits at the Thinkery, Austins new children’s museum. Back at Bluebonnet, campers will be encouraged to create art that is expressive, original and unique to them. We’ll have a guest artist share with us different techniques of painting and the wide range of art and sculpture.

all aboard

July 28 - August 8. (2 weeks)

Campers will take a step back in time when they step aboard the vintage Austin Steam Train. They will also be introduced to many other kinds of travel and transportation around the worlds. Campers will build their own trains and learn about trains of yesterday and trains of today.

Rockets to Space

August 11 - August 21. (2 Weeks)

Experience a real rocket blast off! The Mad Science folks will spend time with us to teach about propulsion and learn about different kinds of rockets. Have you ever wondered what it is like to live and work in space? Learn about astronauts aboard the International Space station and what a day in their lives is like.
